Half-Time Report: Nathan Ake draws Chelsea XI level against MK Dons

A Chelsea XI have come from behind to take a 1-1 draw into the break of their friendly against MK Dons this evening.

The Blues made a strong start to the match and Jeremie Boga saw an effort tipped over the bar by Cody Cropper, before the keeper saved a shot from Oriol Romeu.

Nathaniel Chalobah was next to threaten for the visitors, but his long-range effort was kept out by Cropper.

Despite the pressure from the visitors, it was MK Dons who took the lead in the 29th minute when Tom Hitchcock fired in after Kabongo Tshimanga's shot had been parried.

Chelsea were not behind for long, as seven minutes later Boga saw his strike spilled by the keeper and Nathan Ake followed up to tap in from close range.
